Short description:
Part of The Humanities and Human Flourishing series, Philosophy and Human Flourishing draws on and charts new directions for philosophy and humanistic thought aimed at human flourishing. In light of new developments in positive psychology, psychiatry, evolutionary biology, cognitive science, and behavioral economics, questions that address the meaning of a flourishing human life can be addressed with fresh insight rooted in theory and practice. This cohesive and engaging volume includes a diverse range of contributors with expertise in philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, evolutionary theory, cognitive science, ethics, political theory, social epistemology, education, and the arts.
MoreLong description:
What is a thriving, meaningful, and flourishing human life? What practices, associations, policies, and institutions support flourishing lives?
These questions are not new ones. Philosophers from Buddha and Socrates onward have stressed that love of wisdom is demonstrated by living well--not by thought or theory alone but by action and practice. In light of new developments in positive psychology, psychiatry, evolutionary biology, cognitive science, and behavioral economics, these questions can be addressed with fresh insight rooted in both theory and practice. This new perspective is further supported by recent research in feminist theory, critical race studies, philosophical psychology, neuro-ethics, and more. Philosophy and Human Flourishing both draws on and charts new directions for philosophy and humanistic thought aimed at human flourishing.
To reflect the fact that human lives and cultures differ, the perspectives here are refreshingly pluralistic, a commitment evident in the breadth and diversity of its highly accomplished contributors. Their expertise spans philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, evolutionary theory, cognitive science, ethics, political theory, social epistemology, education, and the arts. Each chapter is crisp, clear, and free of technical jargon. All contributors write in explicit conversation and cross-reference each other to create a volume that is cohesive and engaging.
Human flourishing does not happen automatically or by default. It demands careful reflection and imagination. This book takes up and applies that reflection and imagination to the search for a flourishing life.
